“remarkably oblivious to man

habitat. He found a colony of
boobies thriving in a wooded

the trainloads and truck
convoys.

“More than that,” he
explained, “the paper
argues for the suspension of
some traditional Anglo
notions about the nature of
the world and criteria for
literary judgments."
Continuing, he said,
much American minority
literature defies many such
approaches. An example he
cited is the notion that an
Indian poetic chant is
redundant in its repetition of
key lines.
“Finally,” said the in-
structor, “to avoid con-
descension of an Anglo
reader anxious to be ‘kind’
to a work, the paper
discussed standards of
artistic achievement.”
These standards he ex-
plained can be applied to
any literary work written
originally in English.
“The paper argues,” said
Standiford, “that the
defense of an imaginative
work solely on the grounds
of its admirable social
message is artistic con-
decension."

She said Blacks ex-
perience serious difficulty in
admission to graduate
schools because of language
problems. The average
programs, Miss Gill added,
have failed to teach stan-
dard English to Black
children and to identify
deviations or to contrast
standard patterns with those
of the Black dialect.
“Black English is not
wrong,” she asserted, “It is
not accepted.” Citing this

Abbott’s boobies
sad-faced sea birds the size of
small geese - are found only
on Christmas Island in the
Indian Ocean. Unfortunately
for the birds, their 52 sq. mi.
island is nearly pure
phosphate of lime.
Phosphate is much in
demand for fertilizers, and a
mining company operated
from their somewhat dopey
facial expression and the fact
they make almost no effort
to avoid capture.
Boobies display little fear
of men, which may be one
reason their numbers are
diminishing. The masked,
red-footed and brown
boobies are found in many
parts of the world, while the
Peruvian and blue-footed
boobies inhabit the west
coasts of the Americas.

thinks their speech habits
evoke negative reactions
among white listeners.
Miss Gill believes the
language problems stems
from slavery when laws
forbade teaching Blacks to
read. This social and
linguistic isolation con-
tributes to different pat-
terns.
Attitudinal change,
curriculum revision, ex-
pansion of teacher training
and adult education dealing
with the problems and
consequences of racism are
needed. Tutoring, revision
and development of text-
books also are methods the
instructor suggests “to
alleviate criminal neglect of
the Black’s language
patterns.”
Standiford said his paper,
“American Minorities
Literature: Art and
Message,” was geared to
the Anglo teacher who may
not be familiar with
minority writings.
The paper, he described,
provides an introduction to
the broad scope of
American minority
literature written by Blacks,
